My Question or Issue

I installed spotify-launcher from arch repos. It defaults to xwayland. I changed some config to have it run in Wayland because fractional scaling in xwayland does not work causing the UI to be blurry, which all good the UI looks great and is responsive in Wayland.

The issue is simple, the window class in Wayland is null which doesn't play nice with my window manager. Every other application which I had to change to Wayland manually (vscode, discord.. also both electron apps) have dev teams that were able to figure out window class, you're smart people over there hopefully you can fix your package as well.
